4. ..Paul reached Ephesus on
the coast where he found a
group of believers. ‘Did you
receive the Holy Spirit?’ he
asked. ‘We have not even
heard of this’ they replied.
‘Then what baptism did you
go through?’ he asked.
‘The Baptism of John’ they
replied..
5. Paul said ‘John’s baptism
called for repentance from
sin but John himself told
the people to believe in the
One to come, meaning
Jesus’. As soon as they
heard this they were
baptised in the name of
Jesus. Then when Paul laid
his hands on them...
6. They spoke in other
tongues & they prophesied.
There were about twelve
men in all...
As soon as they heard this
Paul laid hands on them
They filled with Spirit
9. God gave Paul the
power to perform
unusual
miracles...clothes
that had touched his
skin were placed on
the sick they were
healed & evil spirits
were expelled..
Acts 19:12
10. A group of
professional
exorcists tried to
cast out demons
using Jesus’ &
Paul’s names but the
man with evil spirits
attacked &
overpowered them..

11. The story of what
happened to both
Greeks & Jews
spread quickly & a
solemn fear
descended on the
city so the name
of Jesus was
greatly honoured..

12. Some witches &
sorcerers who had
become believers
brought their
magic books &
burned them in a
public bonfire with
the books valued at
a great cost..

13. And so the
message
about the
Lord spread
widely & had
a powerful
effect!
